Well, now BrisketTown is in the Tex-Mex taco business in a big way. From noon till 3 p.m. on weekdays, and weekends from 8 a.m. till 3 p.m., three different tacos are available. First in prominence, of course, is the brisket taco, made from the pit's signature long-smoked meat, plus scrambled eggs, cilantro, pickled purple onions (that's the Brooklyn touch), and chile sauce. Unless I'm mistaken, that sauce is Sriracha -- just the sort of sneaky ingredient you might find on a breakfast taco in Austin.

Not quite as good, but still well worth eating, the so-called bacon taco is made of pulled pork belly prepared in the smoker. There's also a vegetarian taco whose principal ingredient is nicely charred brussels sprouts. A nifty idea.

Coffee and a selection of pastries is also available. Tacos come, Austin style, on flour tortillas, but you can also get corn if you request it.
